So I know the ratio for daily intake is typically 65% fat, 5% carbs, and 30% protein. I know the ratios aren't set in stone but what happens if your total ratios don't match up with that? (For example, my ratios for today were 73% fat, 6% carbs, and 21% protein). Thanks!

Re: Ratios?
If they're going to be off, usually more fat and less protein is an okay alternative. But, general rule is to just shoot for them as best you can everyday.

Re: Ratios?
Higher fat, lower protein is okay. You don't want your protein to be much over 30% at any time throughout the plan. Even in maintenance. As you increase carbs, the fat will reduce and the carbs increase, but the protein stays at or slightly under 30%~Joy
